High Commissioner Sir Arthur Grenfell Wauchope arrived from London by plane today to resume his duties after a stay of several weeks in England. His return was hastened by growing Arab terrorism which has taken a toll of six Jewish lives and more than a score Arab and Jewish wounded in the last week.

The authorities cancelled seven o’clock curfew imposed in Jerusalem yesterday following an outburst of bombings in various parts of the city.

A synagogue in Haifa, port city in northern Palestine, was damaged by a bomb. No casualties were reported.
